    Can you help us to identify some photographs?


    From time to time we are sent old photographs or paintings connected with the parish but the location or the people in the subject are not known. We would like your help. Take time to look at the items - you never know if you will identify the contents.

    The latest addition is about Peckfield Colliery with two Barwick men and an engine which needs identifying.
